Wanworsm summoned it by proce lamation. But leading members of the old House whose terms of office do not expire till the lust day of this year, assert that the law under which Wanworn issued his proclamation never passed that body, and that the journals show that it never passed, and that the paper which WARmoTm pulled out of ‘his -pigcon-hoto and signed just before he issued his procia- mation is therefore no law at all. over, some of the ablest lawyers in the Btate declare that if the bill had been regu- Tarly passed and approved its provisions Were a palpable violation of the Constitu- tion, and are therefore void, If the facts be as stated, then the body which has pretended to impea could have no legal existence till the first of January next, and Is now nothing buta small mob acting under protection of the guns of the United States arm, therefore the so-called impeac void, and Wansmorn ha: pended from office, and there is no vacanc y for Pincn Back to fill.

If ‘they were entizoly innocent of any connection with Ames and the Credit Mobiller, of course they woald not trouble themselves to hunt bim up and weaste half the day and night conferring with lim, Neither would they thes waste their valuable time if they had only'had a perfectly legitimate business transaction with this gentlo~ man. It Is therefore evident that they were the recipients of some of the enornrous profits reaped bya favored few from the building of the Union Pacifle Railroad, WHAT AMES HAS ADMITTED. Indeed, It 4s gcarooly necessary to drew infer- “onces in regard to this, for Ames and his friends have admitted, during the past few days, toa number ef persons, that certain Senators and inembers of Congress dia hold Credit Mobilier stock, ané that others received the dividends on shares which he held for them as trustee, But thoy deny that it wasa corrupt transaction, oF that the stock wes given for the purpose of in- influencing legislation tn favor of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Amos, ayd over some of the tmplicated Senators and members of Congress, assert as, positive proof that they were not to be Influenced by holding this stock, that the Uniom Pacific Railroad hed received all the dogistative ald it wanted long beture they be- came interested pecuniarily. They say thas the stock was offered to thom in a business way as a good investment, and that they, knowing that the Union Pacific needed no further legislation, took it and paid cheir money for it. THE SCANDAL THI TEARS AGO. ‘This ts not a new éxplanation. It Is diferent, Mis true, from the story these virtuous states- men told during the campaign. Then this Credit Mobilier scandal was manufactured eapecially for the campaign, and some of them even int!- mated that they had never heard of such a con- eorn ae the Credit Mobilier. But, strange as it ‘may stom, this very samo scandal about members of Congress being interested in the Union Pacific Railroad, and being the re- ctpletits of enormous profit from the building of that road throngh the Credit Mobilier of America, waa brought to the attention of the Senate in April, 1800. A Senator gravely recited various legal papers to show that these charges ‘wore not lightly cud irresponsibly made, A secret agreement made between « number of the stockholders of the Union Pacific to bind each other to stand together and keép all out- siders from sharing in the profits which they ‘were receiving through the Credit Mobilier was read; the complaint of Fisk and the very bill in equity which McComb had filed im the Supreme Court of Peonsytvania in the suit out of which all this hubbub has grown were also quoted from. But then, as now, virtuous gentlemen ‘were ready to ory out that members of Congress could not have been influenced because the Union Pacific wasn't asking fe: lavorable legis- lation. This was done ebecially by the Hon. Henry Wilson, now Vice-President elect. That iis meteor vf legisiation for the Union Pacifo Railroad may be understood, I will give at some Jength the atory of this debate in the Senate. THEY WISHED TO KEEP woaT THEY MAD. The legislation which Ames, Alley, and their colleagues in the Union Pacific and Credit Mo- biller wanted, at the time of the distribution of stock among members of Congress and after- Ward, was not 80 much toenab'e them to obtain Money as it was to enable them to keep on and toretain what they had already obtained. The great land and bond subsidies had already been Voted, as had also the right of the company to issue Arst mortgage bonds while the Govern- ment surrendered its first Hen and accepted a seoondary one. The inside Ring, as McComb terms the Credit Mobillor, had also been in oper- ation for some time, building the road and ab- sorbing all the bonds and subsidies #0 genc ‘ous- ly given by the Government. This was done by the directors of the Union Pacific Railroad Com- Pany making a contract with themselves as the directors of the Credit Mobilter, or with same one of the Credit Mobiller people, who in turn made an agreement with himself and the rest of the dinectots of the corporation to secure to them «if the money. All of this was well ar- ranged, systematized, and tn good working order when Oakes Ames began his stock opera- tions with members of Congress. Ames was a shrewd, long-headed old fellow, as events have proven, He saw very alearly that the stockholders of the Calon Pacific who were not Ip the iaside Ring would soouer or later bé- gin to Oght—would be trying to make the Ring disgorge. He therefore concluded that it would be a good idea to take into the Inside Ring lead- ing Senators and members of Congress, whose votes would be thus secured when any little enabling act was to be passed to save the con- cern from the courts, THE FIGHT AGAINST AMPs, Tt was not long after this Judiclous distribu- tion bad been made when the stockholders out- side the Ring began the Oght against Ames and his confederates, They prevented or wore about to prevent the election of the King board of di- Fevtors, and to save themselves the ringites ap- pealed to their friends and coadjators iu Con gress. Mr. Dawes promptly tatroduced a joint resolution authorizing the Ring #t dors to change the time of the stockholders’ aunual meeting. Mr. Garfleld and Mr, Brooks supported this remarkable measure with all thelr infu ence as well aa by thelr yoloos and votes; and under the operation of the prey out they forced It through the House. THE AMES PARTY AND JAMES FISK Atalater period the Amos party got into lit Igation With Jin Pisk, and to escape from this proceeding It was necossary that an oxtraor dinary law should be passed horizing and providing that * any corporation, or any member thereof, other than a banking corporation, or- ganized under a law of the United States, and Against which a suit ot law or in equity has been or may be commencal in any court other than a Otreutt or District Court of the United States, may have such sult removed from the court in which it may he pening, (0 the proper Ciroult or District Court of the United States.” ‘This remarkable law, the constitutionality of which Is very ques- Uonable, was tacked on to ayery Innocent bill, entitled an act supplementary to “an act to allow the United States to prosecute appeals and writs of error without giving seourity,”’ which had been passed by the Senate, Whon this bill came upin the House, Bingham moved to amond it by adding as a new section an entirely different aci Urely different subject, te called “putting on @ y= nard of Tonnessee, Marvhall of linols, and others wanted {t referred to the Judiclary Committve, but Bingham insisted on ishing it through then and there without fur- ther debate, Hoe attempted to justify it by as- rorting that the Interests of the whole country Wore at stake, and this was to enable them tobe Protected in the United States Ooart, He in- weted on the previous question, and was sus- tafoed by Garfold and oll the friends Ames had let futo the Credit Mobilier, (See Congreasionat Globe, 24 seasion, 0th Congress, amend vent was agreed to by the Senate, and phusthe King of the Union Pactfo was again haved. ml WHAT THY IMD TO AAVE THER BACON. ‘tha. outalde stoosholdern avaln begin war UCR Ames and bin conXederatoe, and the State number quarrels with them oo and his | boon Rane” york ee air ced jn any cont Mew wii or aes "Tl fe Pae vera cre weebroken up, he tach abit removed from board of directors prevented by an t nding to he proper * Roneticutton ot the Unit of the United Stat mat surety for ente iceman ats Jt shall be th enter ly, ia i tt Mt tl peeccinr aie ane goad het : : ; t Cinch oral e by origi rocess ; and atl the provisions o| tachment inj toy coeeralnlng deprived of bis rights in order that Amos might give Credit Mobilter stock to mombers of Congress, and he goes for them in a Pepnaylva- nia court.
